Same here. If a board is completely quiet after starting a Nut/OS
application, in most cases it hangs in the nvmem routines

The other problem is, that nvmem drivers are not always trivial to
implement (e.g. Atmel's EFC). It is a real burden for new platforms to
have this provided before Nut/OS will start running the application.

Thus, I'm dead set on removing this requirement in the next release.
Even the network parameters (IP, MAC etc.) may be done in the
Configurator in an early state.

Harald
